For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- ½ block cream cheese, room temperature

Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast, then set aside for 10 minutes. In a stand mixer with the dough hook, mix flour, sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla. Add the yeast mixture and egg, and mix for 5 minutes. Cover and let dough rise for 1 hour.

- Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the strawberry filling, and roll into a log. Cut into 6-7 pieces and place in a buttered cast iron skillet.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F and bake rolls for 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the Frosting: In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over cooled rolls and enjoy!
